Donald Trump Jr, the eldest son of the Republican presidential frontrunner and one of his political surrogates, has granted a 20-minute radio interview to a prominent white supremacist who broadcasts what has been dubbed as "the primary radio nexus of hate in America".
The younger Trump will be featured as guest of honor in Saturday's broadcast of the Political Cesspool, a three-hour program that lists among its objectives, "to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races." The show is presented by James Edwards, an avowed white nationalist who is pro-slavery and whose previous guests include the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke as well as a raft of Holocaust deniers and neo-Nazis.
Edwards was granted credentials by the Trump campaign to appear as a bona fide media reporter at a recent stump appearance by the real estate billionaire in Memphis. He was given a media badge and a VIP parking slot before enjoying one-to-one time with the candidate's son.
In a blog posted on his white nationalist website, Edwards said that his experience at the rally "lived up to my expectations". In glowing terms, he said that his hopes for Trump's candidacy had been proven right - Donald Trump was the leader "our people" had been waiting for.
"Our people just needed a viable candidate and they've identified Trump as that man. There is no doubt that Trump's populism and nationalism is galvanizing our nation and may change the course of American history for the better right before our very eyes."
Edwards went on to praise Trump's "masculine attitude" as a "prototypical alpha male" and said he was supporting his candidacy because "because immigration is the single biggest problem that our nation needs to solve. Demographics is destiny."

Bad move........IMO.
Gee, Donald’s dad was arrested at a Nazi rally long ago. Now, the son is on white supremacists site? How can this be with a man as smart as Donald?
This is not a new issue. It’s just dumb to have ANY association with these dirt bags. Somebody on Trump’s team has been retweeting from obvious racialist twitter accounts and giving them exposure on twitter to Trumps 5 million followers. Just dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. No need to do it. Trump needs to be super careful about this stuff now.
Is this the level of competence we could expect from a Trump Presidency? Pretty scary...
The interview has already been done ...
Political Cesspool Host James Edwards Reports From Inside Donald Trumps Press Pen
I attended a Donald Trump rally in Memphis on Saturday night as a fully credentialed member of the media and enjoyed the unique experience of being able to air a live broadcast of The Political Cesspool Radio Program from inside the press pen while the event was in full swing. (Next Saturdays show [March 5] will feature a previously taped 20-minute interview with Donald Trump, Jr.) It was a very memorable day and Id now like to take my audience behind the scenes.
Certainly does. If so, sounds like a mole in Trump's campaign is actually working for Rubio, Cruz or the GOPe.
Political Cesspool Host James Edwards Reports From Inside Donald Trump’s Press Pen
Is this the level of competence we could expect from a Trump Presidency? Pretty scary...
Absolutely. It would be even worse if Trump was filing false FEC documents to cover up huge campaign loans from sleazy Goldman Sachs.
Most likely just some intern issuing press credentials. Easy fix.
I agree.
Beat me to it I see.
Will Jake ask hitlary about being a lawyer for the racist black panthers?
My show, The Political Cesspool, promotes a proud, paleoconservative Christian worldview, and we reject media descriptions of our work as white supremacist, pro-slavery and other such scare words.
As I clearly wrote in yesterdays article, in no way should anyone interpret our press credentialing and subsequent interview with Donald Trump, Jr. as any kind of endorsement by the Trump campaign.
The grotesque way in which the media is purposefully misrepresenting my work by taking certain cherry-picked statements wildly out of context is both shameful and reprehensible. That said, I apologize for nothing and I retract nothing. James Edwards
This dog does not hunt — just look at all the money he has given to Al Sharpton.
An article in a Leftist Commie Brit rag— imagine that!! This is a page right out of hitlery and the 5th column communists/neo marxist/bolsheviks who support her, and for that matter Bernie also.
So this is national campaign positioning for hitlery.
From the Edwards’ website:
“My show, The Political Cesspool, promotes a proud, paleoconservative Christian worldview, and we reject media descriptions of our work as white supremacist, pro-slavery and other such scare words.
As I clearly wrote in yesterdays article, in no way should anyone interpret our press credentialing and subsequent interview with Donald Trump, Jr. as any kind of endorsement by the Trump campaign.”
Trump is not a racist. This is some kind of trap.
It as a KKK event and 7 people were arrested after the event. There is no record that I’ve seen of the charges. For all we know he was fighting with the KKKers! Who gives a crap is the main point.
Making up crap like it was a Nazi rally doesn’t make you look smart.
I’ve reviewed this guy’s website and he starts out looking very reasonable and friendly.
But then delved into his archives and soon found a long article which could have been in any left wing rant because it catalogued a long history of the founders and presidents viewing other races as inferior.
However he then concluded that this proves that America as founded was never egalitarian and that the superiority of whites is the true tradition of America.
Therefore he is a problem and should be ejected. Apparently he has been s a big Pat Buchanan supporter and claims he has been misinterpreted.
But I say no thanks. I’m sick of all race victims but if Trump doesn’t get out ahead of this it may finish him.
Hopefully, Trump Jr. did not know who Edwards is and didn't say anything inflammatory that will hurt his dad. I would hope that he kept his own recording of the interview to counter selective editing by Edwards. In the future Trump's staff needs to better vet those requesting interviews.
